Wilson now makes no attempt here to claim that his wife didn't tout him for the job. That is quite telling.

Did you read his six-page letter, or just the excerpts of it than ran in the National Review?

More misdirection. Wilson claimed that he had debunked the Iraq-seeking-Yellocake story.

At the time, the "story" was whether Iraq's nuclear program posed a threat to us. Wilson came back from Niger and said that it didn't.
Now, the "story" is whether there is any credible excuse for the White House's effort to mislead people in the State of the Union address. I say effort to mislead because we now know that the attribution of intel to the British was done to cover the fact that the CIA didn't think it was any good, and had previously told the White House that the President shouldn't address the issue. Though no one in the White House could know what England's sources were, they refered to those findings because they were trying to muster a case for war. Wilson's findings only look like "misdirection" because he failed to anticipate that by this point we would all accept that Iraq's nuclear program was no threat to us, and that the only question left would be just how hard the White House was working back then to snow everyone.
